cheap hills

One of the best things about Bali is how insanely cheap everything is--if you know how to bargain for it! Offer them half of what they're asking, and when they say no, just walk away. Most likely, they'll call you back within seconds and say okay. That's how I managed to get so many silver bracelets and rings, which are all beautiful and I now wear one of each on a daily basis. Keeping it simple (stupid) with a white blouse and black Topshop hotpants, but when you're off for a visit in the Sacred Monkey Jungle, too much color and sparkle would draw the wrong kind of attention (and by that I mean monkeys climbing all over me, no thanks).

I bought this sweet little pink lace top at a boutique right across from where this photo was taken, along with a red lace skirt and white lace tank (to be featured soon!)
Taken right at the end of our lane in Bali outside the sweetest garden restaurant where we grabbed lunch upon raised platforms with nothing but pillows and bamboo rugs to sit on. My days here were spent shopping, walking, swimming, sketching, and writing. How i miss it so.
